Nice work, Nezih!

Great to see such attention to detail and painting in 1/72!! The weathering is sooo nice!!!!

One has to wonder though - did it just land in a mud field! The wheels are sooo dirty! :-)

If I would have to be picky about something, it would be the antenna. You've certainly put in some effort to it, but to me, it simply looks too thick! I'm somewhat of a beginner, but I recently tried to make an antenna for 1/72 using 0.04 mm fishing line, and I was very pleased with the result. 0.08 mm would also look good. Another advantage with fishing line is that it is flexible, so the tension is maintaned! - I think the model would benefit from this.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Nezih,

You did an impressive job! I see no seam lines or gaps, excellent workmanship! The nose cone looks to be the exception.

The canopy does not seem to fit well, but if this kit's canopy is a multi-part piece like the 1/48 JU-88 I built, then it is hard to mount. Looking at photos of -88s, I noted the windscreen had a noticeable gap in real life. The rear part of the canopy was jettisonible, from the photos I've seen of abandoned one, so the gaps aren't a big thing to me.

The muddy wheels is good. Even in the Reich, many aerodromes were sod. In Russia, a paved runway seemed few and far between. So I think it is proper for these wheels to be very dirty, even with muck on the nacelle behind the wheels, where the spinning wheel would fling filth.

Polarbear's suggestion about the antenne will improve the model, too.

The topside weathering enhances the appearance. However, I am not a proponent of weathering all panel lines; I would suggest that you tone down the underside.

Looking forward to your next model!

I think it looks fine. I've got one in my pile at home (though i plan on converting it to an A1 with soem old Airfix parts and a Fine Scale Modeler article).

Judging from contemporary photographs, the fields these aircraft operated from would have been quite churned up, especially during the Russian campaign etc. It's also noticeable on RAF heavy bombers.

That is one great model .I dont know what the law is in turkey but a couple of swastikas on the tail fin would make it completely authentic.

Very nice C6 Teğmen, I particularly like the interesting weathering, but it may be a touch heavy in 1/72 scale for some tastes. Personally I like to see, what might be quite boring schemes, given a bit of life with painting techniques and weathering. Thanks for sharing.
Have you seen the MOM (Model of the Month) picture posts? The September voting thread is still open, you might want to enter the October one. It will be open on the first of October it will be good to have more 1/72 models.
